Pros

The culture is amazing. I am newer to the company and everyone is friendly, outgoing and helpful. I have already made friends and feel like everyone has my back. And I really feel like I am important and contribute to the company - my opinion matters. And they encourage us to find better ways to do things which benefits everyone.

Cons

They don't have formal training programs (yet) so it's a little hard to get started but with everyone being so helpful I can always ask questions.

Pros

Xero has a great product and a lot of very passionate employees who work very hard for their customers.

Cons

The executive leadership at Xero is creating a toxic, backstabbing culture that promotes yes-men at the expense of honest dialogue. It's impossible to make decisions at the company, and multiple rounds of layoffs are leaving all employees shell shocked and fearful. Marketing teams are under-resourced while more demands are constantly being placed on teams to do more. When constraints are communicated, employees are blamed for them, rather that listened to. Multiple colleagues have said the same thing. Additionally, management has instituted a 'rank and yank' policy where everyone is graded on a forced curve, where the bottom quarter are immediately put on a PIP.
